In Padang's heart, where beauty thrived,
A sudden tempest's force arrived.
Nature's fury, unchained and wild,
Tore through landscapes once so mild.
The mountains quaked, their silence broke,
As earth beneath them heaved and choked.
Homes were shattered, dreams laid bare,
Grief and loss hung in the air.
Rivers swelled with a vengeful tide,
Sweeping hope and life aside.
Families clung to remnants dear,
